CUCC members and guests in Austria
1976 to 2024

This is a pretty much complete list of all the personnel on 46 CUCC expeditions (there were no expos in 1986, 2020 or 2021), together with the total number of expeditions each has attended and the total number of people on each expedition.

Qualification for inclusion involves some active contribution to the expedition such as going underground, surface surveying, sherpa-ing, camp-shopping or diving for resurgences. Years marked in red indicate some certainty that the person didn't go underground that year. Persons marked in red are thought to have never been underground on expo at all. Note that diving in Altausseer See for the resurgence has been counted as underground:- it certainly counts as effort expended in the pursuit of speleology!

In the table, a section mark (§) indicates someone who was an individual guest of CUCC or of a CUCC member, or who was a member of UBSS or ULSA when they were present as guest clubs in 1981,1982 or 2008-onwards or any other clubs in more recent years. We don't guarantee to have got all such people correctly marked. Similarly, the currency symbol (¤) marks those who are (or were) individual members of the local Austrian group Verein für Höhlenkunde im Obersteier. A face icon indicates a link to a mugshot (and brief notes) in our Rogues' Gallery. Two of the members listed are inanimate objects - no prizes for guessing which without looking at the photos :-)

The table doesn't include the local cavers who have caved with us at various times. These include particularly Karl Gaisberger :-), Gunter Graf, Arndt Karger, Sepp Steinberger and Robert Seebacher :-).

Links to recent expos: previous expo. There was no expo in 1986, 2020 or 2021.

379 people have taken part in expo altogether (not counting non-combatants or vehicles(!)), of whom 248 have their pictures on the site so far.

Although few take such statistics seriously, the most dedicated expoers are Becka Lawson (26 expos), Wookey (Wook) (23), and Anthony Day (Dour) (23). Julian Todd holds the record for consecutive expo attendance (10), (along with Mark Shinwell, but he didn't actually go caving on all of those visits). A more obscure record of longest gap between expos has been held by various people since 2004 at 13, and then 17, years, but in 2017 was upped to 34 years by Phil Sargent, which is going to be extremely hard to beat!

Outside-expo caving happens from time to time, with Becka Lawson, Neil Pacey, Julian Todd and Wookey joining various Arge and VfHO trips since about 2000. However, the much talked-about winter expedition/holiday has still not happened, though there is still a lot to be said for it. With draughts reversed in the cold, top entrances should be more obvious and skiing would make a nice change from sitting watching the rain. Some entrances would inevitably be blocked by snow but others seem to remain open all winter.
